Construction has finished on the first dorm building at the Medical Education Training Campus on Fort Sam Houston.

The campus is being built as part of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission’s decision to bring all armed forces’ enlisted medical training to Fort Sam.It will be composed of three dorms, five instructional facilities, a headquarters and administrative building, a fitness center and a massive dining hall that already has been completed. Students are scheduled to begin arriving in late May.

The general contractor on the project is Greeley, Colo.-based Hensel Phelps. The dorm units were constructed at a plant in Belton by The Warrior Group, a De Soto-based construction company, and the building was assembled on Fort Sam.
